Jet Fuel Syndrome study released

This study into Australian Airforce personnel also relates to others who have prolonged exposure to jetfuel, it shows "is there is evidence of small but persistent cellular damage,"
The report raises more questions than it has answers and the research field of the effects of jetfuel on human cells is considered by pundits on the radio today, as being in its infancy.


RAAF personnel who worked with jet fuel suffered damage to cells with unknown long-term consequences, groundbreaking research says - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

The research was commissioned to investigate why some people who worked on the deseal/reseal project on F111 aircraft, "suffered significant health impacts — such as depression, anxiety, erectile dysfunction, memory loss, skin conditions, gastro-intestinal problems and an increased risk of cancer — while others did not".

Solvents were thought to be a potential cause but in ground breaking research jetful was found to be more toxic.
